#1 source for all bits and pieces McIntosh: https://www.audioclassics.com Ryan Kilpatrick is the go-to guy for parts there. If anyone has them, they will. BTW, you say an electrostatic cleaner? I'm not 100% sure, but I believe most plated knobs are electro-plated. If so, you likely broke the ionic bonds between the plating material and the knob surface. The knobs would have to be re-plated. |
ALL knobs you clean with a hot dry mop rag. NOT WET. Like a dry mop. It needs hot moisture to clean the grooves but not discolor anything. If it smell like a solvent it is.. Pretty simple.. Keep that crap away from from anything plastic or dipped or some weird protective goop. New Mac Remotes really suck.. I got no idea what they were thinking.. They get gooey, no way to clean it either.. Knobs aren't cheap, unless you find someone that is selling out. There are a ton of them out there.. When and where? |
Other remotes get gooey too.You are just not using the right stuff to mitigate it. The easie4st way is put the commands on another remote. |
